"Amalayer" if I would say that I did not enjoy each bite of every dessert variations and clever sweet concoctions available during the buffet. It was simply heavenly and dreamy!
No, wait! It was like a paradise of unlimited desserts where all you do is eat all day and get fat! Ha ha ha !
Too bad my belly could only take so little, I would have stayed until 6 pm....and if I had no other event to attend to that day scheduled at 6 pm in Makati, I could have rested awhile and ate some more after a few minutes (Lol!).The travel time from BGC to Makati would take at least 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the traffic situation.
I'm serious! But if the body is too weak already, the mind could no longer control it. Such wasted sweets.
Seriously (now I'm very serious), the sweets served at the dessert buffet would make you wanna ignore whatever diet restrictions you have. Indulge and enjoy and be merry!

Lifestyle Network launched a
charity dinner event titled “Around the World in Small Plates” to
benefit the “I Can Serve Foundation”. It was the first of its kind in the Philippines as a friend of mine, who also attended the event, experienced a similar but bigger event in Hawaii with the same concept "tasting delicacies from several different countries" (21 to be specific), but in Hawaii, they had 200 dishes!
Wow! and we thought we had more than what we can chew and swallow for the entire night. 21 dishes was already too much for us, we never got to finish all the dishes, eventhough if it was served in "small plates"
